Medicine as N Real Science.

Since medicine became a real science
the tendency has been more to dispense
as far as possible, with indiscriminate
dosing. The first manifestation Of this
WAS the homeopathic system. Now the
hest doctors give very little medicine. and
there is disposition TO dispense with it
altogether. The modern tendency is
clearly in the direction Of curing diseases,
particularly those of nervous character,
wholly without dru2ging, and hence we
have the faith treatment and similar
vagaries. These may he false and absurd
but they illustrate the growing conclusion
that nature can, almnst in the majority of
cases, be left safely 10 herself. With good
nursing and some obvious and simple aids
she will do what is necessary of her own
free will. 1t is found that the ma iority
OF people who die at an advanced age were
in the habit of taking very little medicine
The possibilities of magnetism. etc, are
yet TO he seen. We are probably just on

Since Mrs. Cleveland has adopted the

society has taken up the same species as
its pet Not long ago Hector. the
black Antwerp poodle, who lords it over
all the other pets at the White House on
account Of seniority. was the only black
poodle in this city, but now no dude con
siders himself in the fashion unless he has
a black poodle. Even the young ladies
have taken to black poodles for pet dogs.
In a walk up the avenue | counted no less
than six black poodles in as many squares.
Ii was curious TO note the various speci-
mens-some very fine looking; others
looked shaggy and dirty, as if just risen
from poverty to affluence and they had
not had time to get used TO it. A dog
fancier in this city says he has more or
